F40 owner here... May be my bias opinion but I feel this could've looked better if it was closer in looks to the X2 m35i. The F40 grill is nothing to rave about but it still looked like a BMW. This however IMO has lost the plot. The lights look somewhat sad, aren't as aggressive as other models. The lack of indents also doesn't give it that iconic BMW meanness. Waiting to see this F70 with a splitter, canards, a spoiler, etc... then maybe i will like it more but for now in all honesty i wouldn't upgrade. Back looks amazing though there i can't hate. Outside of the new display interior is lacking for me. Great review tho very honest which i love about your channel.
